Bottoms Up

taking all of my pills
and vitamins to fill
a shot glass

chasing them to stop
the things that are 
chasing me

with 
a bottle
of wine

Yes life is chasing us and eventually will drink us. Keep fighting the good fight.

A reply to both you, Richard, and Alkas; I am manic/depressive. Now everyone groups themselves into the library shelf of "bipolar"; but just as "global warming" is not "climate change", bipolar ain't the same. So saying that I'm afraid I can't explain my brain lol. But thank you both for even reading mi Musa's words.
